The HOGB8 Thread

[Bill Siegle]

So, what version of the B8 would be the Jail B8??!

Every wise crack reply I can think of gets me on a "special list"

Don't tease the poor man. They just had the one-night Ganzaa...

With all the accolades this knife has garnered, they decided to debut it coinciding with Academy Awards night.

So sorry you missed out, bro.

In another thread it was said that the B8 would be just like a res-C handled SAR-8. I would actually expect it to be closer to a convex ground SARGE-7. If the total blade length is 8", we'll be looking at less than 7" of actual cutting edge.

I will be getting a B8, but if it had been available choil-less, I'd have gotten at least two.

Nice to see a happy cat! Mine is sitting on my shoulder as I type.

Because of the angle the pictures were taken for the Ganzaa pics, the B8 looks like it almost has the length of the B10, but based on the specs, I think this is where the B8 is more likely to fall when compared to the other Kin blades in a profile shot (give or take an 1/8"). Hope this helps...



Keep in mind too that the plunge line looks more vertical in the Ganzaa pic (like the original BLADE prototype) and will likely not have the angled plunge of the photoshopped B10LE above.

How many to order and of what handle colors is a tough choice... I sure hope my Wife doesn't help me decide.

At least one of each Stumpy!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Stump Buster]

Oh... AT LEAST!!!!

I don't know why, but the E6 looks soooooo much better in person than the pics make it look. Maybe the E-6 is a model and the camera just adds 15lbs.

It's one of my favorite kin blades!!!


What am I saying?!?!... Throw some full size Res-C on some INFI/SR-101/SR-77 and it automatically becomes one of my favorite kin blades.

I know that feeling well!:thumbup::thumbup:

This thread HAS to continue; more to add once we all receive our B-8's!:thumbup:

Soon as we're done with the ganza, this needs to become the "The Busse Combat Limited Edition Basic 14" thread. I don't even mind if they put a choil on that one.

 

[Tom Kanik]

This thread still has a LOT of life left in it!:thumbup:

 

[360joules]
